   I'm guessing this isn't network related but "malware detection" related.  This
   is the text that I assume your download dialog in Firefox shows, I can
   replicate that in my Firefox:
   
   	"This file is not commonly downloaded.  This file is not commonly
   	downloaded and may not be safe to open.  It may contain a virus or make
   	unexpected changes to your programs and settings."
   
   Firefox is trying to help you by applying horribly broken heuristics which make
   no sense, and it's been a thing that pops up for years.  See the below link for
   some more info:
   
   	https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work
   
   You can opt-in to download the docs by clicking the "Allow" button, there is
   nothing we can do on postgresql.org to make it go away.
